3:02Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump has asked the US Supreme Court to let him fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook while she fights his attempt to oust her, pulling the justices into a high-profile legal battle with major implications for the US central bank’s independence.
The Justice Department asked the court on Thursday to at least temporarily pause a Washington federal judge’s ruling that has allowed Cook to remain in her position for now. The emergency request came after the Fed held its most recent meeting earlier this week, which Cook participated in.
Trump said last month he was firing Cook after Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte accused her of fraudulently listing homes in Michigan and Georgia as a “primary residence” when she obtained mortgages in 2021 to secure more favorable terms on loans. Cook has denied committing mortgage fraud and has remained on the job.
US Solicitor General D. John Sauer, the Trump administration’s top Supreme Court lawyer, wrote in Thursday’s application that the lower court’s ruling represented “yet another case of improper judicial interference with the President’s removal authority.”
